Again on Officers Mess. While playing cards in afternoon Jim came to see me. Caught transport in and only had about one hour together – meeting in Cairo on Monday. At night after fatigues wrote in Church Army Hut. Weather during day becoming warmer but cold at night.

Sunday March 7

Day 701

Looks as if fatigue in Officer’s Mess is permanent. Church parade in morning. Afternoon went down to Maadi Sports Club to see hockey match between ??? & Indians but unfortunately postponed. Continued writing at night in Church Army Hut.

Monday March 8

Day 702

Federal Man Hunt (1938)

On Officer’s Mess during morning. Afternoon leave to Cairo to meet Jim. Arrived much earlier than he – owing to being held up at Nile Bridge. Talked in club then walked around Cairo returning to bar in evening. Later looked into Cabaret ??? ???. Parted at 10PM for camp.

Still on fatigues in Officer’s Mess. Changing fatigues tomorrow so will most probably be last day. At night watched Table Tennis Tournament at YMCA between Maadi Camp & Middle East Regional School then to Shafto’s – “Horror Island” “The Girl in the News”
